On Saturday 15th June, the Oxfam Manchester group attended 'Feeding the 5000'. This miniature festival aims to draw an awareness to the British public about food wastage by offering them a free meal. The meal was made from donated food products sent by supermarkets that would otherwise have been thrown away. There was a fantastic atmosphere, and the meal was delicious! It was an amazing day out that we hope to be part of again, as it really helped solidify our understanding of food wastage, over-consumption and sustainability.

As a group, we decided to run an interactive stall where members of the public could participate in a "Recipe to End World Hunger". We asked people to contribute their ideas into our cooking pot, and by the end of the day we had over 70 suggestions and ideas for ending hunger across the globe. We have taken these suggestions and turned them into a poem that we can use to share our message. Look out for your suggestions in our poem and thank you to everyone who contributed!
